The most interesting people and native tribes

Traveling means meeting the most interesting people. We met native tribes of different origins. Most of them are slowly but surely changing their way of life. But some of them are still keeping their traditions, and they are the most interesting.

Many ancient african tribes still live in the Omo Valley of Ethiopia. We had an encounter with the lip plate people of the Mursi, shared Christmas with the Bana, but the Hamer tribe intrigued us most. Some of them really hadn't seen white people before.

River people, or Orang Ulu, are people of different tribes living in the interior region of the island Borneo. They live in long houses along the rivers. Although isolated, they are also modernizing their traditions.
